After seeing all the Russian tanks getting whacked--I think being a tanker today is the same as being a Jap Kamakazi pilot in WW ll. Tanks are the equivalent of the wooden Union warships when they were attacked by the Confederate iron clad Virginia @ Hampton Roads
As a former cavalry scout....I can assure you,,,,the M1A2 is one of the safest places to be on the modern battlefield
Russians have a direct laser guided anti-tank weapon called the Kornet......it can not go vertical...turret and side shots only
Do you think the Russians and Chinese are reverse engineering all the good stuff that was left behind @ Bagram AFB--they will have the equivalent of a Javelin real fast
Of course they, All they do is steal our tech and tout it as theirs and sell to the middle easterners.
